Title: A New or Improved Domestic Flexible Fire-guard.
Inventor: CRADDOCK JOSEPH FREEMAN
Filed: 1899-01-21
Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 1455. Craddock, J. F. Jan. 21. Fire-guards are constructed of flat strips a, b of metal riveted together so as to be collapsable. The strips are attached at the ends to stout bars D, E, made preferably of sheet metal and each provided with a hook f for attachment to the grate. The rivets securing the end strips together work in slots in the side bars D, E. The hooks f preferably pass through slots in the side bars, and are secured by nuts m so that they may be adjustable in height. A link J jointed to one of the rivets is hooked so as to engage with another rivet and maintain the guard in its open position. In a modification, the guard is made of round wires jointed together by eyelets or rivets passing through loops made in the wires. The wires are attached to the side bars by loops, each side bar being made of a piece of wire bent so as to form the attachment hook.

Title: Improvements in Refining Glycerine and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: SCOTT ERNEST GEORGE
Filed: 1899-07-22
Granted: 1900-05-05
Abstract: 15,159. S c o t t, E. G. July 22. Distilling glycerine. - Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the apparatus. The still a receives a little heat directly from the furnace b, but is mainly heated by superheated steam from the coil c introduced by pipes e placed around the ring d. Impurities carried with the vapour are arrested by the baffle-plate g in the flat vessel f. The cooling - battery consists of a series of bent columns i<2> and connecting-pipes j, provided with adjustable baffles k to regulate the flow of the vapour. The condensed glycerine collects in inclined pipes n. The rate at which the vapour flows through the cooling-battery is indicated by means of mica flaps placed across the current. The remaining vapour is carried through the pipe o<1> to the condenser p, preferably cooled by weak glycerine solution, which is thus concentrated. The vacuum pump q is of ordinary construction.

Granted: 1900-07-21
Abstract: 17,820. Dawson, W. H., and Stott, J. Sept. 4. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces; delivery apparatus.-Relates to means in "tumbling " cylinder " machines for feeding the sheets at the top of the cylinder, for delivering the sheets printed side up, and for raising and lowering the cylinder. The cylinder A is driven by racks on the reciprocating bed. In the case of one-colour printing it is driven beyond a revolution, and in the case of two-colour printing beyond two revolutions, for delivering the sheet over switches T to rollers P, Q and suitable delivery mechanism. The grippers E are on a shaft F having a twoarmed lever with bowls G, I. The bowl G is operated by a cam H to cause the grippers to take the sheet from the feed-board R. The cam H is pivoted at H<1>, and is operated as required by a rod 1 operated from a cam. The bowl I is operated to open the grippers for the delivery of the sheet by a pivoted cam J also operated by a cam &c. The cam J also operates the bowl M by which fingers K are raised to lift the sheet from the cylinder on to the switches T. Bowls O are lowered on to the cylinder to run the sheet over the switches to the rollers P, Q. The cylinder A is raised and lowered by eccentrics operated at the required times, and springs are interposed between the eccentrics and the frame. These springs are compressed when the eccentrics are operated to lower the cylinder into its position for the impression, so that they operate to lock or hold the cylinder and prevent yielding or knocking on the impression.

Title: Improvements in Incandescent Vapour Lamps
Inventor: SMITH HARPER FORREST
Filed: 1901-12-02
Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 24,483. Smith, H. F. Dec. 2. Incandescent vapour lamps.-Oil from the tubular reservoir 7, which is formed with a screw valve 11 and an air inlet 12 in proximity to the filling- tube 1, passes to a drip cup 18, which intercepts any foreign matter. From the upper part of this cup, the oil, controlled by a screw valve, traverses the pipe 28 to a chamber 30, whence the supply through the pipe 65 to the parallel horizontal vaporizing-tubes 67 is automatically controlled by the pressure of a column of air confined between the surface of the liquid and a chamber containing one or more diaphragms. The vapour then traverses the channel 68, the tube 69, the space between that tube and the enveloping-tube 72. and the tube 75 to a fitting 77, whence part of the vapour passes by the pipe 78 to the upper convolution 6 of the reservoir 7, to yield the necessary pressure, and the remainder of the vapour descends the pipe 83 and the fitting 69 to the superheating-tube 85. This arrangement may, however, be slightly modified. From the nozzle on the end of this tube the vapour is projected into the bunsen or mixing tube 88, to which air is admitted from beneath the casing 110 by a tube 90, the supply of the mixture to the burner head 87 being controlled by a perforated or other disc 95 mounted on a screw-threaded stem 93. The starting of the lamp is effected by opening the valve 99, so that oil can pass from the drip cup 18 to the starter 100, which is packedwith asbestos or other absorbent material. By means of an opening 196 in the pipe 195, the oil is then ignited in the pan 109, thereby vaporizing the oil in the starter 100, and causing a jet of vapour to be temporarily projected from the tube 107 on the main vaporizing-tubes 67. The reservoir coils 7 and the oil-supply regulator 30 are enclosed by the covers 110, 111, and 113, as shown in Fig. 1, or the regulator 30 may be arranged outside of the cover 110, the central chamber being then formed with hit-and-miss openings to control the supply of heated air to the reservoir 7. An air chamber 133 is shown in Fig. 1 between the plate 128 and the plates 134, 135, which have hit-and-miss openings arranged beneath the openings in the plate 128. The globe 92 is formed at the lower end with an opening closed by a perforated cap 123 carrying a deflector 126.
